The whole eretz land was flooded.

Genesis 7:21-23
[21] And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
[22] All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.
[23] And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.

Most are shocked at the suggestion that the flood wasn't worldwide, but it wouldn't have been necessary in order to destroy the giants and the perversion they had caused in the region where the Adamites were located.
Go back and re-read the entire account translating "earth" as eretz: meaning, land or country.
If you still subscribe to the universality of the Flood, you have a lot of explaining to do.
Here's a small sample of what I’m talking about
There is not enough moisture and water available to cover all the mountains by fifteen cubits (Gen. 7:20) given that some of the mountains are 6 miles high.
That means that Egypt and all the land would have been covered with six miles of water.
The desert mummies in Egypt and buildings and monuments show no sign of extensive water damage from that time period or ever for that matter, except the sphinx.
Before & After.
The Geologist says the sphinx shows water damage to at least 10,000 years ago, some say much older. This much older date for the sphinx is contested by the archeological establishment though.
The archeologist puts the sphinx at 4500 hundred years old, well after the last ice age, and around the time when the local=(eretz) flood of Noah’s day occurred, which was right in the middle of what is commonly referred to the Bronze Age in human development.
The Sphinx must be on the order of 7,000 to 10,000 years old to have the marks, scars of water erosion found on it though.
The Sphinx, when considered with the neighboring pyramids and ancient writings, is part of, and possibly the first element of, a kind of astronomical map related to the constellation Orion.
They have concluded that the "best fit" for this map is found for the position of the stars as they were in 10,500 B.C.E.
There are references that the Sphinx existed prior to the pyramids though.
And also, there is an uninterrupted succession of dynasties, ruling & reining in Egypt, going right through the time of what is commonly referred to as Noah’s flood, in 2500 BC.
Even if we were to put the eretz flood of Noah to a much earlier date. That date would be have to be around 15 Million years ago.
Earth's geologic record shows the Sea level continued to oscillate through Tertiary time until about mid-Miocene time (~15 million years ago) when the last great high-stand in sea level occurred.
I can go on and on talking about Earth History. :rolleyes:
Noah’s flood at first, should be established within a more in-depth foundation of reality and documentation.
Eretz=local land.
The whole Eretz was flooded, underwater.
Just remember, when reading those passages on Noah’s flood, to fix the original Hebrew word into your mind.
That word is--> [Eretz]=Local Land, and you’ll be doing just fine
Have a great day.
Peace & God bless
